Chris Iwelumo to sign today... (He has now signed - official)

[Lush]

Lol at the Brentford usernames.

Do they have a "New Bee"?

 

[bhaexpress]

Yes, Bee Hind.

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Boo Bee?

Coat?

 

[On the Left Wing]

Eric the Half Bee

Ferret still has a column on the official site? Where have they been hiding that? Behind all those poxy ads?

assuming that was not a rhetorical question .....

Yorkie was referring to the latest betting column - found under FANS ... Latest Tips


But the Ferret Column does still appear - under FANS ... Ferret Talk, usually appears twice per week and the last ten columns are now archived.

I am not impressed with this signing. However, if it is only to end of the season, he could occupy the bench, which seems to be his normal playing positions. The best he could rise to would be super-sub, on past performance.

I remember describing the Stoke attack with Greenacre and Iwelumo (on the bench) as ineffective and useless, as they get a breakwaway and score a goal that did not seem likely.

OK the official page has updated with McGhee's comments and he wants Benji back on loan so that means:

a) No midfielder which many people believe we need!
b) Does that use up the last Loan? I believe so (correct me if wrong)
c) If Chris Imwelumoem something does fire up straight away will we really need Benji back?

 

[Superseagull]

Can't see the point in getting Big Trev back now we have signed this Chris Iwelumo. Or maybe Mcghee is planning on playing two big strikers and Leon up front for the run in? Can't see many defences looking forward to that possibility!

 

[king Wombat]

think its a bit odd to get benj back as well. we could really do with a winger

Benji played left wing for Leicester on Saturday, playing a massive part in the Leicester winning goal.

True but we can put Piercey into midfield and you never know, Simon Roger might even get fit by the end of the season, so what's the point of a midfielder. We need an alternative to leon who when left on his own, is prone to get stranded

 

[king Wombat]

i dont think benj is going to cut the mustard as a winger, thought he did very well for us but as a matter of priority a winger signed for 3 months is going add more value than benj for 1 month.

 

[chips and gravy]

This may not be the end of the signings - we may see another one before Saturday

 

[(was)DBS]

any idea's who

 

[Mendoza]

to the tune of manamana

"Iwelumo der der der der"
"Iwelumo der der der der"

ill get me coat

He was 4th in Stoke's player of the season vote last season...

In a somewhat barren season for Stoke's strikers, Chris Iwelumo's honest endeavour has been rewarded by the fans who put him in fourth place. Big Chris slotted home some important goals during the season and in general, caused the most trouble for opposition defences.

The results...

1 James O'Connor
2 Siarhei Shtaniuk
3 Peter Handyside
4 Chris Iwelumo
